I never could understand how the people in Acadiana could elect such a clown.

Well…he was in the runoff vs Scott Snake Angelle, after Team Jindal/Angelle quietly helped JBE defeat Vitter. Just a complete shite runoff.

My hope was that Higgins would win, then someone conservative, intelligent and competent would run the next go round and replace him. You KNEW Snake Angelle would be a lifer if he ever got into Congress.

I pulled for Ellison in that primary, but we were left with Higgins vs Angelle.

Josh Guillory ran against Higgins in the 2018 Primary, and was cast as some big ole liberal by the Lafayette/Acadiana tea party/MAGA crowd, but then a bunch of those same people fell in love with him a year later in the Parish President race. Weird.

That Holden Hoggatt guy they found to run against Higgins as a Republican in 2022 was a complete joke.
